Concentrate correlation system

Abstract

Systems and methods for correlating a concentrate to growth and biomass properties are provided. Desirable concentrate attributes may therefore be identified as being correlated to certain growth conditions, biomass properties, and extraction and other processing parameters Such positive attributes may include cost and ease of production, as well as therapeutic, aromatic, and intoxicating qualities. Product variables, such as terpene profiles, sensor data from growth to handling facilities, may be used to match the final products with the proper biomass source and processing methods. Such correlation may incorporate artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques to identify correlations, patterns, and trends. As a result, recommendations may be made regarding how to achieve certain desirable attributes in a final product.

         1 . A method for correlating stage properties and parameters with desired attributes, the method comprising:
 receiving a preference regarding a desired attribute in an end product;   retrieving information sent from a plurality of devices over a communication network regarding a current production, wherein the information from each device concerns a different stage of the current production;   creating a table that stores the retrieved information concerning the different stages of the current production, wherein the table is populated with the retrieved information from the devices;   comparing the created table to data regarding one or more past productions, wherein the comparison identifies at least one parameter that is correlated to the desired attribute; and   generating a recommendation to adjust the current production in accordance with the at least one identified parameter.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the retrieved information include at least one of biomass data, processing and handling data, extraction data, and therapeutic data. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one identified parameter concerns plant growth, and the recommendation is transmitted over a communication network to a designated grower device. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one identified parameter concerns biomass processing and handling, and the recommendation is transmitted over a communication network to a designated processing and handling device. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one identified parameter concerns extraction, and the recommendation is transmitted over a communication network to a designated extraction device.

         8 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein identifying the at least one parameter is based on the at least one parameter being more correlated to the desired attribute than other parameters as indicated by the sorted table. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising receiving user input indicative of a different adjustment, and overriding the recommendation based on the user input. 
     
     
         10 . A system for correlating stage properties and parameters with desired attributes, the system comprising:
 a communication network interface that communicates over a communication network to:
 receive a preference regarding a desired attribute in an end product, and 
 retrieve information sent from a plurality of devices over a communication network regarding a current production, wherein the information from each device concerns a different stage of the current production; 
   an analytics module stored in memory and executable by a processor to:
 create a table that stores the retrieved information concerning the different stages of the current production, wherein the table is populated with the retrieved information from the devices, 
 compare the created table to data regarding one or more past productions, wherein the comparison identifies at least one parameter that is correlated to the desired attribute, and 
 generate a recommendation to adjust the current production in accordance with the at least one identified parameter. 
   
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein the retrieved information include at least one of biomass data, processing and handling data, extraction data, and therapeutic data. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein the at least one identified parameter concerns plant growth, and the communication network interface transmits the recommendation over the communication network to a designated grower device. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein the at least one identified parameter concerns biomass processing and handling, and the communication network interface transmits the recommendation over the communication network to a designated processing and handling device. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein the at least one identified parameter concerns extraction, and the communication network interface transmits the recommendation over the communication network to a designated extraction device. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein the recommendation includes instructions executable to automatically implement the adjustment in accordance with the at least one identified parameter.
